Clio RS200 Paint correction and Nanolex detail


Envy Valeting

Recommended Posts

4 years ago I did this Clio

 

Skip forward to the present day and she needs a whole lotta love!

 

I had to ask if she had been used as a stage rally car, muck forestry, 4X4 etc...

Green with Envy?

Based on how she was, I sprayed the whole vehicle with weak TFR to get the dirt loosened and then covered the wheels with Iron Awe and left to soak.

Pre-soaked with Citrus cleaner via the foam lance, anti-bacterial agents should help slow the return of the green bits.

Once the Bubbly Jubbly was rinsed, and BEFORE the hand wash it was time for a liberal application of Iron Awe to the bodywork too.

Much better I think you'll agree.

A problem on the rear arch for the customer to get touched in, a photographic memory jogger!

2-3 passes with S3 Gold and we are on the right track

I correct and refine 1 panel at a time. Nothing more disheartening than making your way round a car, then having to start again to refine.
